Today.....I am;
A tourist.
A no one.
A blimp.
A fan.
AND I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!
I arrived early Wednesday morning, jet-lagged, shattered and angry at public transport yet SO excited for the week ahead.
Nobody knows me here.
Nobody analyzes every move.
Nobody judges me.
I can be whoever I want to be!
Sometimes I feel like a goldfish in a bowl, people feel the need to analyze. If there was anything to tell, I would tell them. But there's not. So I stay quiet!
I like having introverted moments of thought.....me analyzing things that matter......like why good things must come to an end.
Good things being Michigan, the time has come to leave. The passion is no longer there, I am bored, every day is the same.
It goes like this ;
6am- get up
6.30am-get kids up
7.00am-breakfast
8.00am-check homework and pack bags
8.30am-leave for school
[Interim period where Hayley does NOTHING]
2.45pm-collect kids from school
3.00pm-snack
4.00pm-TV hour
5.00pm-homework
6.00pm-Parental bonding
7.00pm-showers
8.00pm-bed
BORING
It's time to move on!
I want to go to Thailand......or maybe Russia?
Anyway London London London.
Wednesday I got in, found my hostel in which I am sharing my room with 19 Spanish girls :S
Had some dinner and then headed off to Fiddler.
Show was amazing I shall post my full review when I get a chance.
Stage door was packed....something to do with the little girls, every parent in England seemed to be there grrrrr! Some old man stood in front of me decided to bend down and fart in my face...NICE :s
Saw Al and Damian after, talked about cheeky pictures, Michigan, D's Birthday and a range of other things.
Went back to my hostel.
Thursday (Today) I got up at 5am, headed down to Holborn to the Shaftesbury Theater to queue for day tickets. I was first there and got the same seat for the matinée and evening :D
There were lots of strange people in the queue, ranging from tiny Japanese women that didn't speak a word of English and I don't think they really knew what they were queuing for! To a family of eight who looked like they belonged in "Shameless". I could smell the kids if you know what I mean?!
Abi called earlier to give me her usual London Theater update and told me Ellie was off from Hairspray.....I died a little inside :(
Ellie is awesome!
But it turned out she wasn't off and I couldn't detect illness in her voice throughout the matinee, so THERE!
Ellie Collett rules - END OF!
Leanne seemed a little "off" today, as did Ben- possibly a cold or something but it showed.
Understudy Motormouth Mabel was extraordinary.
Nicky Griffiths just gets better and better- ;o)
The new "Lil Inez" was impressive too, shes a great dancer!
Michael Ball will NEVER get my vote, he's so corny ewww :(
So now I'm just sitting in an internet cafe in Bloomsbury with an hour to kill so I thought I'd fill you all in on my antics!
Tomorrow is Wicked Day and I hope Kerry is back.
I shall post pictures as soon as I get home.
Take Care all

She Breathes. She Blogs.
Today.
Today I ate
1 Pancake with bacon
2 bowls of tomato and pasta soup
Macaroni Cheese and Fries
1 Pancake with sugar and lemon
2 boiled eggs with toast and butter.
3 cups of tea
1 Coke
2 Glasses of Pineapple juice
3 Pints of water.
Words to describe Hayley today:
fat, disgusting, glutton, greedy, unhealthy, weak, stupid, disrespectful, idiot, binge eater, phsycho.
I HATE ME!
What I don't understand here is why I do it to this extreme. I always believed that once you didnt eat for a while that your stomach shrinks and you can only take small amounts of food at any time. This is obviously not true in my case. I seem to go from one end of the scale to the other so quick. I can see my stomach, packed, bloated, stretched to the limit and still I am not full, I want more, I want to eat my donuts from the fridge!
Boredom may be a factor.
I need to find an activity, something to stimulate my brain.
[end of ED rant]
It's only 6 days till I go to London, I'm actually so excited!
I get in on Wednesday morning and I already have a ticket for Fiddler for Wednesday night, Thursday I think I shall do a Hairspray double, Friday Wicked and then Saturday a Fiddler double if I can get tickets! *Everyone pray that Hayley gets tickets for Saturday night Fiddler!*
Oh. My. God. I. Am. So. Bored!

Good Ol' Scottish New Year!
The 5 steps to a perfect Scottish New Year!
*Be Happy
*Get Pished
*Kiss Everyone
*Cry
*Stumble home
Oh how I wish my night was that simple. How could it have been? I'm so messed up.
All day I worried about the night ahead, the socialising, the people, the pleasantries- I clammed up everytime they ran through my mind.
I worked in the pub until nine and when I finished I planned to go home.
No such luck.
I stayed, I had a glass of wine and I was under.
Under the spell that takes me every time I drink.
2 Bottles later I had settled in.
The world seemed a much happier place.
Laura came and we seemed to be having a good time, the bells was fantastic, the atmosphere in the pub was electric, everyone was having a great time, including me!
I felt amazing, all my friends were around me and this girl called Claire who is the new Kitchen Manger's girlfriend was having a good time with us. I like Claire, she's cool, proper nice lassie.
The band were fantastic, everyone was dancing, kids were running about screaming like they should!
After the bells I started to feel strange, down, out of sorts.
So I sat in the corner trying to compose myself.
But it was too late.
It had me.
I began to cough, gulp, gasp and wheeze.
Before I knew it, my whole throat had closed and all I could expel was a squeak.
Claire looked over and I managed to catch her eye and mouth "please".
I was dragged outside and she knealt in front of me,
sitting down I was still struggling and beginning to get tired. But Claire perservered and eventually my breathing slowed and I could talk again.
First thing she said was
"Fucking hell, you panic like me, you just have no idea how to control it!"
I just sat and looked at her, I didn't understand, was she trying to tell me she feels like me?
A smile emerged and I whispered "really?"
"Yes" she replied whilst handing me a fag!
That was weird.
We haven't really spoken so mch since then but when she came through on Friday I could see the empathy in her eyes.
She muttered "You ok sweetheart?" and I kinda nodded.
I still feel really stupid.
Laura has been the ony one that knows for so long and it's strange to let someone else in.
But I like her, I feel I can trust her.
Is this a good thing?
Overall, remarkabley.....it was a good new year, one of the best!
Thanks to my Lolaaaa! (Laure you love being called that!)
Claire Bear
Gary and everyone else at "The Wheel"
Buhbye for now guys I'll maybe see you at Easter
xx
